Horsebeach

Horsebeach hail from Manchester, UK. Their debut self titled single contains two contrasting tracks that give you a steady introduction to their sound. 'Even' is a darker story of hope and a re occurring dream of loss that is accompanied by a jangly, dreamy overtone. Where 'You Know' is a carefree lo-fi pop gem with a message of youth and love. Horsebeach influences contain Shimmering Stars, Wild Nothing and all things surf.
